Announcing the release of rb-appscript 0.3.0, a high-level,  
user-friendly Apple event bridge that allows you to control scriptable  
Mac OS X applications using ordinary Ruby scripts:

[http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=2346&release\_id=9094](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=2346&release_id=9094)

Rb-appscript 0.3.0 contains several API changes, along with a number of  
important bug fixes and internal improvements, and is a recommended  
update for all users.

Also of interest to rb-appscript users is the osadict tool bundled with  
py-appscript 0.17.0. This handy little command line program provides a  
powerful interactive dictionary browser and HTML exporter with support  
for rb-appscript-style terminology. The latest py-appscript installer  
can be downloaded from:

Last but not least: I’m looking one or more volunteers to help perform  
a code review as the final step before the official beta release. (This  
is mainly to check my Ruby and C idioms and code are sensible and  
correct, btw; Apple event programming experience isn’t required.)  
Please drop me a note if you’re interested in helping out - it will be  
greatly appreciated.

Enjoy,
